Novel Technologies in Structural Health Monitoring and Digital Management of Transportation Infrastructures

With the acceleration of urbanization and the growing demand for transportation, ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficient operation of infrastructures has become particularly crucial. Monitoring and assessing the health status of transportation infrastructures are key to their operation and maintenance management. Therefore, the purpose of this Research Topic is to focus on novel technologies in the fields of structural health monitoring and digital management of transportation infrastructures.

We aim to cover a range of innovative technologies, including sensing technologies, data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and artificial intelligence (AI) in monitoring and managing bridges, roads, tunnels, and other transportation facilities. The sought-after articles should deeply explore how these technologies help in real-time monitoring of structural integrity, predict and prevent potential structural issues, and improve maintenance efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Additionally, this Research Topic also seeks articles on how digital management can optimize infrastructure operations, enhance decision support systems, and lay the foundation for the development of future smart cities. Through the application of these cutting-edge technologies, the management and monitoring of transportation infrastructures will become more intelligent, thereby ensuring public safety and enhancing user experience.
